computers to the internet. In fact, nowadays, we take it for granted that we can connect our laptop computer to the wireless access point in our home, but how far does your signal carry? Try connecting from the garden? Try walking down the lane a little, and see how soon you lose your signal? You can't go very far before your signal degrades and things slow down and eventually, you lose your connection altogether.

of kilometres? All North Cyprus internet service providers face the same problems in delivering wireless internet to your home. Connections are provided using a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). Different internet Service Providers use different types of equipment. You only have to look up to the roof tops to see the varying range, size and shape of antennas that are used. Generally, the speed of a wireless Internet connection, depends largely on the strength of the connection on the radio frequency. The higher the strength of the signal and connection, the less packet loss on the connection, but what is packet loss? The data that is sent and received over a radio frequency is usually, encrypted before being wrapped up in a packet and transmitted. If the radio signal between the antennas is weak, some of the data packets may be lost. When packets are lost, in most, but not all cases, they can be transmitted again, a second time, but this results in lots more data being transmitted than needs to be transmitted
